Education
King's Stanley is home to a C of E Primary School. This was established as a result of the amalgamation of the Infant and Junior Schools on the site of the old Junior School. This is to allow construction of a new building on the old Infant School site where the whole school will ultimately be based. It's planned that the new school buildings will be completed by Easter 2011.
The Primary School was inspected by Ofsted in October 2009, and judged to be "Outstanding".

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“A President must call on many persons—some to man the ramparts and to watch the far away, distant posts; others to lead us in science, medicine, education and social progress here at home.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math. They are expending a vast amount of time and effort in exploring and understanding their immediate world. Healthy education supports and encourages this spontaneous learning.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
